Some Facts Worth knowing.

Our line of spring styles is now com
plete and goods are arriving daily.
We buy goods in large quantities from
the manufacturers. We pay cash for
every dollars worth of goods we buy,
thus enabling us to buy at bottom prices.
We are exclusive agents for certain
lines of goods that no other house in
the city can touch. We have in stock
to-day more fine goods than any three
houses in the city. Our exhibition
windows of New York and Partisan low
cuts are beauties. For perfect fits, cor

FATAL KEROSENE EXPLOSION.
a coiored Girl In Henrico Burned
90 Death.


Mr.. Charles Spencer, who lives in
Henrico county about twelves miles
below this city and near Elko, on the
Charles City road, was in the city yes
terday. In conversation with Dis
patch reporter he related the following
sad story: Last Friday morning col
ored girl, about eighteen years old.
named Pauline Green, who was EN-
ployed by him as a cook, went to the
cook-room to make fire in the stove.
Having some difficulty in getting the
FIRE TO burn readily she resorted to the
store-room near by, and taking out an
oil can, containing about a quart
of kerosene, brought this ever-ready
infiammable element TO her assistance.
The result was, as is too often the case
where carelessness attends the use OF
this dangerous fluid, that the can ex-
ploded, and her clothing, dampensd
with the oil, took fire and she was soon
wrapped in a winding sheet OF flame.
She ran up-stairs and Mrs. Spencer at
tempted TO extinguish her burning
clothing, but to no avail. Her burns
were so severe that, after lingering in
pain through the day, she died that
night.
Mrs. Spencer was very badly burned
and is yet confined to her bed with the
probability that it will be several weeks
before she is out again. After the fatal
occurrence Mr.. Spencer learned that
the girl, without his knowledge, had
been in the habit of using oil quite fire.

Mr.. Waller, the Governors secretary,
was sitting in his Office yesterday morn

man came to the door and asked IL
Governor Lee was in. The Governor
had not yet come, and Mr.. Waller told
the visitor 80. Well, he would wait,
be said. He came ON important busi-
ness. With that he sat down demure-
ly, and for about half an hour did not
say a word or show the slightest inte-
rest in his surroundings.
During this time Mr.. Waller was
given chance to look at his guest.

He hauled from his pocket a little
piece of sheetiro and an article which
fesembled a spoon. Placing the iron
on his lap he rubbed it vigorously with
the spoon for awhile.
"What are you doing?" asked Mr..
Waller.
I'm telegnphing to Cleveland.
"Well, what does he say 2"
"He says it's so.' He stole it"
"Can you telegraph to Bismarck
about it?"
"Oh, yes" and rub, rub, rub, went

"What does he say?"
"He says came over here with $500,
and he reckons the President has stolen
it."
"How do you get the electricity of

the Governors secretary.
"Oh, it runs right down my leg and
goes right out" waving his arm toward
the window.

In Defence OF Colonel Cutshaw'
RrcuuoNn Va Anril 10. 1881.


To the Editor of the Dispatch:
VIII you please give me small space
in your paper to make correction Z
AT the meeting last night OF the Com
mittee on Grounds aud Buildings Mr..
Mullen said a man named Ryan could
not get a job on the City Hall until
after he had left the Knights Of Labor.
I would say in regard TO this that ! had
a promise of work from Colonel Gut
shaw for two months before i left the
Knights. Colonel Cutshaw never asked
me whether | belonged to any order or
not. and neither did he know whether
/ had left the Knights or not, and IT
was ten days after had left before |
was put TO work, and the only thing he
told me was 81 put men to work on
trial, and if they donot suit put them
off" / told him / had worked with
his men, and was not afraid of the job ;
SO | am working hard on trial, but |
think give satisfaction, as 1t does not
take long for Mr.. Netherwood to tell
you whether you suit or not. have
never told any one that | got work for
leaving the Knights. They say / be-
long to the Law and Order League,
which is another false alarm. l do
not L. 4. Ryan,
